Side by Side Comparison of: Petrainer vs Aetertek

Last week was a very expensive week for us. We adopted a very food driven dog a year ago. He was a stray at 6 months or so, we got him from the pound. We trained him constantly. He lives with me, hubby and our 3 year old beagle mix.I work from home and devote all my attention to my dogs. I was able to train them to use the potty indoors, and all the basic commands. They even know to not go out of our house despite us loading and unloading the car/s.However, his food possessiveness has gotten scary. He occasionally would bite me and my husband without breaking the skin over food, such as us getting a treat back from him after he stole it from us during training sessions. After we corrected him, the problem would go away from some time.Our other dog is not really interested in food. We never thought that an extreme event would happen since we've had them both for a year.And then, the horrible happened last week. I was working and was wearing a noise cancelling headset. The beagle mix came crying to me, I ignored her for a few seconds. She kept coming at me, and I saw something dark on her forehead. I realized she was wounded. Bad. The gash on her head was horrible- the skin was hanging and she was bleeding all over. Our male dog bit the older 3 year old dog so bad she needed 4 stitches.It cost us $400 to rush her to the emergency room. 4 stitches and 2 hours later, we headed home. I realized I both gave them new toys and treats before I started working.It confirmed our need to get a drastic correction tool for our very food driven dog. We exhausted all other means. I am so glad we did. We no longer fear him when it comes to food. Just a zap of 8 is our maximum. He is quickly learning to obey. I take off the collar when I am not training him, but leave a similar weight collar all the time.

I bought this product for my senior dog that is slowly going deaf and is also slowly losing her vision. We have a fenced in yard and when I would let her out for potty time, she would not hear or see me calling or motioning for her to come inside. Obviously, it was to the point where I was concerned about her safety and needed a way to let her know she need to come back to me. This product was just what I needed to address this issue; although, I only use the vibrate and beep (which seems to be high-pitched enough that she can hear it) features, and haven't used the shock feature on her. The only issue I have with this product is I had to find a YouTube video explaining how to set it up as the instructions that come with the package are woefully lacking. Other than that, this product works as it should and I have had no issues with it. Best of all, my dog has learned to respond to the vibration and beep cues and I no longer worry so much about her safety.

I'll admit that my wife was right... She wanted these much more than I did. I thought they would be inhumane and ineffective. I will say publically that I was wrong.Our two dogs were already good dogs, but they would run wild if off leash. They also would not listen to basic commands even though they knew them. The real reason we got them when we did is that one of our dogs chased our cat. The dog was trying to be playful, but she did corner and terrify the cat, so we had to do something, and this was my wife's solution.The first real use was when the dog went after the cat one more time, we gave her a zap at about 40%. We have not had a problem since. For most correction the vibrate setting is enough to get them to "chill out" when they start playing to rough with each other.What truly sold me on the effectiveness of these collars is when we tried some off leash training. We were on some private land and let both dogs off leash. They were running and playing, when they started getting to far we gave them both a light zap and they stopped. They started to run away one more time. On that second zap they both turned over a new leaf. Ever since then I've been able to walk them off leash and have them stay near by. If they are running and playing and I yell for them to come back they do. I've usd the vibrate and audio setting a couple times, but I haven't had to zap either of them since and that was over a month ago.I love that I can control both from the same remote. I can set each to a different setting depending on the dog and just go from a shock on one to a buzz on the other. Or I can have the shock set higher on one than the other which is helpful since the boy has a very thick coat relative to our girl.I hate to say that my wife was right, but I do recommend these collars.

This device works great. I only have 1 dog but the cost difference between 1 or 2 collars was $10 so why not have a spare or a second in the event I get another dog. My dog has an electric fence at home so he is familiar with the collar idea. When we were hiking however he would chase deer or other animals and just disappear off into the woods knowing full well he didn't have a leash on and I couldn't catch him. Other than yelling at him when he returned 20 min later I had no way to correct this behavior. I've had him out 2 dozen times for hikes with the collar and had to use the shock maybe 3-4 times early on. He responds so well now just to my voice that every once in a while I give him the vibrate just to remind him I can "reach out and touch him". I would advise strongly to only use the shock for the worst offenses because honestly it does hurt and you don't want the dog to be terrified, just aware that certain behaviors won't be tolerated. This device is not nearly the quality of the ones that hunting dogs are trained with but for $40 it's waterproof and rechargeable, features you'd normally only find on higher end models. So far so good.

This product was amazing!!! I have the most stubborn lab mix I have ever seen! Nothing has worked with his chewing toys, pulling trash from the trash can, finding random chewed shoes under the bed!!! For one year we've struggled with what could possible work! In one afternoon he has learned to correct almost every bad habbit he had!! Highly recommend!!!

This thing is AWESOME!! I love that it comes with TWO collars and receivers, plus it has four settings. Ive never been a fan of shock collars, but this one is good. I like the vibration setting and so far I have not had to shock either of my dogs, the vibration warning has been more than sufficient. My male dog (basset hound) listens 95%of the time and has always come to me when Ive called him, it took only one reminder and he obeys all commands now. My female on the other hand is a bit more hard headed. Shes a major digger and I have tried everything. The invisable fence...ya that was an expensive joke...didnt even phase her. This collar I placed on the vibration setting (100-highest) and so far have had to remind her twice. Its been pretty comical to watch as she really kicks up the dust running to where I have called her and now all I have to do is place the collar on her before letting her outside. Shes a whole new dog, listens and very obiedient, best of all that damn digging has stopped!!! I wish I had known this collar was availble sooner. I had no idea shock collars came with a variey of options and not having to use the shock option really makes me feel better. Hands down this is the best tool ive come across. Its also water proof. Both were out playing in the rain and no problems there. I saw one review where someone complained they were not water proof. I dont think your supposed to let your dogs swim in a pool with them (DUH) where they are submerged for a long time in water. No problems or complaints here!! EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!

Arrived as described. Thank you for the prompt service, your product was just what I needed.

Excellent service. Arrived as promised. I like it even better than the original charger that I misplaced. I would absolutely purchase from them again in the need ever arises!

This charger is exactly what I was looking for! I lost my original in a move, and needed a replacement stat. I consider this one to be even better than the first, as it has a dual cable system allowing you to charge both the collar and the remote at once. It has so far withstood multiple charges, and seems to be holding up fine. I would definitely recommend; especially given the price!

Pleased with the immediate shipment I lost mine.....this replacement is even better

Lost the first one, was so happy I was able to buy just the charger and not the entire collar! This is such a great collar and an amazing price, have had it for months and no issue!

This charger is a must. It should just be an included part of the petrainer 2 dog training product. However, you have to buy it separately.

So far this is doing great charging my dogs collar. Nice bonus it charges the remote and collar at the same time so every three days we charge them both at night. I did not even notice at first it was a double prong so it was a really nice bonus for me and is so convienent. Would recommend and for the price it doesn't break the bank!

Worked perfect.

Works perfectly as a replacement!

Works great. My old one was not communicating very good. was 3 yrs old with a broken case where antenna mounted, glued it back and still worked great but the second time it came loose i think i might have gotten glue inside. So ordered a new one. Back to 100% This whole system is a great training system.

Have had my 2-dog system for 2 years now and it has worked great with no issues. One of the collars with receiver got lost so I needed to replace it. Accidentally ordered the wrong receiver but after contacting the seller they let me exchange it for the right part. Receiver is an exact match to the old one and works perfectly. So pleased to know I can get spare parts from the company here at Amazon, which is where I purchased the original system. Highly recommend Aetertek training system for my 2 stubborn English Bulldogs.

original remote became inactive, the dial was stuck. ordered a replacement.

It’s exactly what it’s meant for. Had an old one laying around and decided to use it out in my pup(7 months short hair 70 lds), he responded great. He didn’t notice the shock when I tried it one so I figured it was broken. Don’t really need to use more than the sound or vibe anyway. I decided my other dog would binifit from this as well reason for purchasing this. She is 6 with long hair and about 46lbs. She does not care about the sound. She tilts her head and looks around on vibrate. The shock makes her head tilt one way. But when she is actively doing something she doesn’t notice any of it, even turned up all the way. So if you want a collar to really shock them this is not the one. But if your dog is sinsitive it’s great.

My dog lost the last one in a field. This was easy to start up and use.Emmy knows the sound, vibration and unfortunately has known the zap. It usually doesn't get to zap.

Its not an ultra high priced unit like you would use for a retreiver, but it works well enough to keep my beagle from bolting on walks in the woods with just the audible beep. Customer service was also excelent when i had an issue with the unit under warranty. Contacted them and the replacement was sent the same day.

This collar has given the wife and I control again over a dog that can jump fences and knows that he can out run you. We love the beep function as it reenforces verbal corrections, and the shock is used only when verbal and beeps are blatantly ignored. The beep also helps distract the dog from say a squirrel, and can be used to locate the dog in the dark. Couldn’t have kept the dog without it. Bought it twice because the collar tab broke on one side. Lasted about 10mths. Very high energy hound dog. Good battery life, lasts a fullCamping Weekend. Fast shipping!

This pet trainer has been invaluable to me in training my dogs. I don't like raising my voice at them when they get into one of their barking frenzies, so I just press the remote to make the trainer unit emit a sound and it startles them enough to give me time to calm them in a normal voice tone. The unit also has capabilities for vibrating and for emit an electric charge (the strength of each is adjustable). Luckily, I have not had to use those options.

Second collar device to add to my previous collar, works great but it is dependent on the dog. The first dog reacts to the noise warning, stopping the undesired action. The second dog ignores the noise completely, barely reacts to the vibrate feature. The nice feature of the unit is the manual controls, keeping the minimum level of correction needed. The devices also have easy adjusting strength levels, highly suggest starting with lower setting and working upwards to a setting that gets the dogs attention. Main purpose of this device is to help adjust behavior along with direct interaction of the owner. I recommend this to anyone that may have some issues with their dog bad behavior and want the most humane way to aide in correcting the bad habits that the dog may have gained from the past.

I have one (of 3) dog who barks at night and this collar has worked great! I tried the shock settings on myself and found it quite harsh ( I get easily shocked off of water taps in ungrounded houses etc) but I have never had to use more than the vibrate. One hit when she is barking at the fence and she comes running right back to me. Mostly just putting it on her at night was enough.I bought this almost 3 years ago and she has slipped into her old ways again so I pulled the collar out again and was please to find it worked perfectly still.One star off because the transmitter does fall off the collar, I sewed it on at either end and that works fine, a bit of a hassle to get it off for recharging but since I very rarely actually have to hit the button, the collar stays charged for a very long time (a month or more)

I have 2 dogs and this has been great. You have to charge all 3 items before they can be used, and unfortunately it only comes with one cable. The cable is a USB plugin, but it does not come with the wall adapter, but that's not a big deal since most people have a couple lying around. The battery can be accessed on the remote to be replaced if need be. DON'T LET THE REMOTE GET WET! If it does get wet, take the collar off the dog! If not, at some random time of day you'll have to figure out why your dog started yelling and crying and then have to catch the bitch to get the collar off because it randomly decided to shock her and won't stop. But if you do leave the remote out in the rain, you can take the battery cover off and let it sit out in the open air until it dries and then it'll still work fine after it is dry. The range is closer to 100 yards, definitely not 330. So far it has been a good product, especially for the price.

This has some really great features and a few that make you scratch your head. The range is pretty good. I can be in the house upstairs and zap the dogs if needed but you have to press and HOLD the button to send the signal not just press it. They are made well and rugged and a GREAT deal for the price. The bad: You get one charger to charge the remote and two collars. Sometimes it takes a few hours to charge each part so you might be charging 6 hours to get everything charged. Adding an additional charger or an adapter to charge all three things at once would be much better. The charging port on the collars is ridiculously small and looks just like the re-set button it is next to so if you put the charger port in the wrong hole you will re-set the programming on the collar. You also have to remove the collar strap from the receiving unit every time you have to charge it so its like taking the collar apart every time you charge it. I also wish there was a way to see how much charger the transmitter and collars have. I just get in the habit of charging the unit every two days or so but if that is charging it too much or two little your guess is as good as mine. s

Just received item in mail today, upon un-boxing I found a complete instruction booklet, two bags of prongs for the devices, two collars, two receiver units, and one hand held unit with a usb to wall 110v style charger. First thing I noticed with these units is where the power button is located under the collar , I find this a hard to reach area once the collar is installed due to charging and turning off, sooner or later the collar or plastic will wear and one will give, probably the plastic, but will see how it goes. So far the units look well constructed, I used it at night after a charge and the "Light" setting option is not a viable option at all as for the light is not on the front of the unit and it is hard to see the red blinking light, even though the instructions says it will be green. So far the sound is pretty decent, but does sound like a broken buzzer or blown horn , lol but gets the dogs attention, the vibration mode is pretty noticeable at one setting 100 is very noticeable, one 1 the shock is faint unless held tight in your hand, I wouldn't recommend doing it at 100, pretty strong , knocked me almost down and I am a fairly sized guy 50 seemed to be enough for a large dog, will update this review as time progresses using this unit, so far it seems pretty decent for price , features, just annoying to remove one collar sleeve to charge or turn the unit off and the useless light option. time will tell on reliability of batteries and the unit since all have built in rechargeable.. Not sure about weather or water resistance yet or shock resistance to bumps drops etc. I have other collars that range into 100's of dollars so far this one is two for a 1/3rd of the cost.. happy so far. Update February 4th 2016, both units working really well still never heard back from the representative about reviewing this item I didn't buy it to get it for free about it to use but still would like a return reply, so far so good paid for itself.

I was hesitant to buy these because they're cheap. I've had expensive collars in the past that worked great and I was skeptical that something this low cost could be reliable, but budgets win and I bought these. They've been great. The receivers are small and light enough for even tiny dogs. Our little 15 pound terrier wears one, but we did have to buy a different collar as the ones included couldn't be made small enough (a $4 fix at Walmart). They have recharged reliably and hold a charge for many days. All functions have worked reliably. The buttons could be a little more intuitive - I'd suggest applying a little paint or something to quickly identify collar selection and "fire" buttons. I tend to want to hit the mode button instinctively instead of the fire button. The key to using these collars is to be very attentive to your dogs behavior, if you issue a command (they must already understand what that command means) and they do not respond, then immediately issue the shock or vibration for reinforcement. Usually they will quickly not need the collar anymore. When using shock, just use the lowest setting that gets their attention. Even on my big tough labrador retriever a setting of 3 is more than enough. You can (and should) shock yourself to see that it's just a little tickle at those settings and you're not "hurting" anything. It gets the dogs attention and startles them a bit to know that when master says something they are to listen.Now, these are low cost devices and its obvious they are not heavy duty field grade collars. I would not buy these if I had serious working dogs. If your retriever, pointer, or security dog is hard at work in tough conditions I do not think these collars (nor the trasmitter) would take much abuse. If your family pet needs a little reminder around the house or on casual walks then that's the market these were designed for.As for the claims that the collars burn dogs, that's complete nonsense and the result of foolish users leaving the collars on too long so the prongs are rubbing their dogs hide raw. Don't do that. These should only be used during interactive training sessions. You DO NOT leave these on for long periods of time. If you do, then you should wear the collar yourself all day long and see if you get some rub marks...duh.

The collars work as expected and so far are working fine. I like how there are 100 different levels of correction for both the vibration and the shock. The vibration is strong enough to disrupt any bad behavior without having to resort to the electrical shock. We only want to use the electric shock correction when absolutely needed so the vibration feature is very nice. I would give this 5 stars except for the following issues.-Charging the collars is a little inconvenient as you need to remove the nylon collar strap from the module to expose the rubber plugs that cover the charging port and reset port. The strap does insure the plugs are in place, but it is a pain to have to unhook the strap.-I wish they included two charging cables, or have the one cable be a "Y" cable so I could charge both collars at the same time.-With two dogs it is not easy/straight forward to use the remote. You need to be very careful you are sending the desired correction to the correct dog. This added vigilance takes some time, which when you need to correct your dog quickly takes a bit too much time. You need to expect the worst of your dog so you are ready to send a correction when needed. This can be difficult with two dogs. I wish there were separate buttons for each dog. I used bright pink tape to mark one of the collars and put a piece of the same tape on the remote with a big "2" on it so I knew which dog was which.-Also as above I wish there was another button that would "beep" both dogs so I could call them both in.

This worked fine.

It fits but my trainer is not charging. Don't know if it's the system or the plug

The chargers worked well. No issues until the collars quit charging & broke.

Charges one not 2 sMe time, have to order another to fully charged 3 unite same time.

It was an easy application. Clarity and touch is good. So far protection is good also. Thank you.(Recieved at discount thru amzreviewtrader)

Have had the old 216-c version for my 100lb stubborn pit for years now and works perfectly. When we got our second big boy I ordered another collar but got the upgraded version I guess so I ordered a new remote to go with and now can't find a charger to work on the upgraded receiver which is now a 216-D I guess. Please help me get this collar going right. Tell me what I need cause I've ordered everything else so far and still no luck.???

works well. I had to wait longer than I wanted... but the product works well

THEY DO NOT FIT ANY OF MY PRODUCTS BUT I WILL KEEP THEM

This one surprised me. When you open the box it looks like you are looking at toys, everything is so small, nobody that I saw mentioned that in the reviews. That being said, everything seems to be working as it's supposed to. I should warn you about the shock feature, I couldn't shock myself because I have a heart part, my adult daughter volunteered; I had it on a low setting (12 I think) and she said about 3 on the pain scale but she had symptoms that lasted for an hour. Muscle spasms, taste of metal & some numbness near the shock site. I intend to use the shock feature as little as possible. I have a deaf dog and my whole reasoning was to be able to vibrate her to page her, but if she thinks she is in trouble or gets outside, she runs from you & this has to stop.

I really wanted to love these, but I just found myself more frustrated than anything else with this product, especially for the price! I had previously owned a set of DogWidgets collars that I purchased during a cyber monday sale and absolutely loved them! Sadly, my clever dog got a hold of one of the collars when nobody was looking and chewed it up! Even though all we ever used was the vibrate setting on him, (with the exception of once when we were training him not to est the chickens), he knew enough to know that he wasn't a fan and that they needed to go! LOL!When I went back on Amazon to try to replace the collar, I discovered that it was going to be almost as much money as I had paid for both of them because of the great Cyber Monday deal that I got, and a complete new set was double the price. Needless to say, our budget was tight as it was nearing Christmas time and we were getting ready to go on the road to visit family and needed every penny... but also needed collars, so I settled for these.They don't seem to hold a charge for very long, I feel like they spend more time off of our dogs necks and plugged in than theu do on them. The other real issue that I have is that instead of having separate, different colored buttons for each collar, and different colored collars as did my old set, this one had all the same buttons but with one button that you switch modes on between 1 and 2 and both collars were the same color.The problem with this is that it is really easy to get the collars confused and it is necessary each time you remove them from the dog to test them to make sure which setting is for which collar and which dog. That can be a pain considering the fact that you are constantly taking them off and I found it difficult to always remember which dog was on which setting which occasionally resulted in the wrong dog being corrected.I also prefered the simplicity if the buttons of my old collar set. V for vibrate, Love for low shock and Happy for high shock... all vertically placed on top of one another and one row for each collar so a total of 6 buttons, three in a row, side-by-side in two different colors. Super easy to figure out which is which.With these collars you have to click one button to click through which setting you want: light, beep, or shock, and then you have to push another button to determine how high of a shock you want to use, 1-100. Maybe this would be okay for one dog, but its a nightmare for two because after all that, THEN you have to select if you want collar one or collar two for which dog you are correcting.This is especially a problem during the heat of the moment when you need your collars the most! It is a frustrating nightmare to maneuver the buttons to make sure that it is on the right setting to correct the right dog when you are in an urgent situation. Case in point: I took my dogs on a run with me a few weeks ago and about a mile into the run, a moose ran across our path. My big male dog immediately broke loose, bolted and ran after the moose before I could stop him. Luckily, I was able to hold on to my female, but unfortunately because I had to fumble with which setting was which dog, he was out of range long before I was able to get the collar in the right mode to stop him. I finally caught up with him about 30 minutes later when the Moose gave him the slip at the river, and needless to say, I was a less than happy camper.I don't even bother trying to use them anymore and will be waiting until Black Friday or Cyber Monday to hopefully find myself another DogWidget set on sale!

My dog was driving me completely crazy by barking any time she heard a sound outside. This collar has helped greatly in reducing her barking. I generally only use the Beep setting. She knows she is being corrected when she hears that sound. I only used the shock setting one time on level 5 out of 100 and my dog yelped and was terrified for hours afterward. I never used it again after that because it seemed too harsh. She is only 30 pounds and she is very skinny, so maybe the shock setting would be okay to use on a bigger dog.What I don't like about this collar is that it shuts off automatically after a certain amount of time of non-movement. This is a problem for me because sometimes my dog barks while laying down (lazy!) so the motion sensor isn't triggered and I can't correct her. There are also times when she actually is moving but still nothing happens when I hit the remote. This is not good because it prevents me from being consistent in correcting her. Not sure if I just have some faulty equipment or what.The battery in each collar lasts about two weeks for me. When the battery starts to die, the collar will beep. I wish it did not do that because if I don't proactively switch out the collars to charge before they die, the beep makes my dog think she is being corrected even though she has not done anything wrong. It also beeps once when you plug in the charger.

This is a toss-up. We got this to help us work on the dog's fence aggression. Anything on the other side of any fence is The Enemy. If they were off leash in the yard and someone or something walked past it was like someone cried havoc and let loose the hounds of hell.Enter the collars.One dog was completely unfazed my the highest zap settings.One dog completely shut down and went neurotic after the smallest vibrate.The two dogs are sisters of the same breed - go figure.Trying to use the remote to switch between the two when both were acting out at the same time was nigh impossible. By the time you got to the correct collar - the effective training moment had passed.This collar would probably work better when used on one dog at a time in a less chaotic setting

This is an OK product for the money. After a short time the up button stopped working, which is an issue when your dog ignores your reprimand and you need to quickly increase the intensity, especially since it goes up to 100 ( meaning you can only go down... Through 100 levels). I would definitely have spent more money for a system with a better remote - it is very cheap and lightweight and the buttons are too easy to accidentally engage. The receivers easily fall off the collar, which could easily be remedied with some electrical tape, if you don't mind redoing it every time you charge the collar since the collar lies on the charge port.I recently purchased the more expensive model with the plastic collars which seems so far to have all these problems solved.

So far I'm confused by this product. It seems as though I may be daft but the directions, in my opinion are not detailed enough. At this time I got this item in the mail but my 6 month old pup has just been spayed and is wearing her Elizabethan collar (AKA: Cone of Shame or Lamp Shade) and my husband worries that she'll choke with both the lamp shade and the collar so we're waiting 5 more days for it to come off.Criticisms...1) The directions do not tell you to add the small plugs to the screws, I originally had no idea they were in the box and thought that the screws went directly to the skin.2) I can't tell when the collar / remote are fully charged.3) I don't get the point of the flashlight or light feature on the collar. The flashlight on the transmitter is similar to one that goes on your keychain to see where to put the key into the slot, I can't see it doing much more than that. The light on the collar, well my dog has a lot of hair being a sheepadoodle, so I couldn't see it if I wanted to.Praise:1) You'll think I'm crazy, but I tried the shock mode on myself at very low levels (only at 4) I couldn't even feel it. In my opinion that's going to be a good thing for small dogs. My doodle is 34 lbs and I'm not intending on using the shock, but I love that this device has 100 levels of customization.2) The vibration levels are great, I can now correct my dog when she jumps or digs without having to be on top of her.3) I like the sound feature letting me know where my pet is. My husband and I went out the other day and normally the puppy is always downstairs if not with us, she was upstairs in a closet (don't ask me why) but this would have let us easily locate her if she had it on. We think she's having hearing problems, maybe ear infection, with the e-collar on and she had no idea we came home and we couldn't find her.Update 1/30/15: This product went back to Amazon quite a while ago I just forgot to update my post. As previously posted I won't use shock on our puppy. I couldn't get a consistent vibration from 10 feet away, so my dog didn't realize she was being deterred. When I was next to the receiver it went off without fail, but from 10+ feet away it was sketchy. Sometimes my dog would jump as though she was going 'What just happened??' other times she'd continue digging like nothing ever happened.

Works great but can only charge one at a time.

I did not realize that these 2 cords have 2 different sized plug heads. Description is very vague. Hey, at least one fits my collar to charge it.

Fit my phones free speaker

Arrived promptly but with no instructions of how to program. Tried to go buy a collar to also replace my old one but none fit so far so I can't eve use.

Ok

It fell off of his collar twice. The second time we never found it. Should have a better strap connection.

It's great when it works, but I'm on my third receiver (the remote is fine). They always seem to break shortly after they are returnable and the warranty is up. The collar is only $15 to replace but I'm learning that I have to replace it about every 6-9 months. It just stops beeping/shocking even when it's been charged.

Had to pair it. This was a replacement for one the dog took off the collar and chewed into a ball. Didn't work at first and there were no instructions so only three stars. But I found instructions somewhere online and it works fine now.

hard to charge because you have to remove the collar to get the charge ports. it is water proof if all charge ports are properly closed. for 15 bucks though it is the cheapest to get replaced if it goes bad.

bought to replace one that the case broke

We bought these for our dogs and it no effect on them at all. The only thing that got their attention was the whistle, but it just made them look or try to run from it. Did not modify their behavior at all. Hopefully someone else has better luck.

These shock collars worked well for the 2 months we had them then one day they both quit working. They wouldn't charge and the plastic that holds the collars in broke on both sides. I didn't pay a whole lot online for these so I got my money's worth for the short while they worked. It takes time to program the receiver remote so make sure that when programming 2 collars you remove one from the area before attempting to program the 2nd collar. Otherwise you will run into issues with programming.

The collars will randomly not receive signals from the remote, one dog will work but not the other even after switching back and forth. Will decide on it's own whether it'll work again. Transmitter stopped working completely after 8 months. The collars are nice but the fit seems to adjust itself and it does not stay tight on either dogTransmitter is clumsy switching dogs and between stimulations, you can learn it quickly but must always double check to see what dog it is on. It also doesn't not have a safety feature like some higher end e-collars to prevent accidental button pushes. Light mode on the collars is totally worthless

This product is not at all what I expected. We now don't use it at all because it worked so poorly. First thing is the quality. It all just seems really cheap and poorly made. Then it only works if the dog is facing in the same direction as the remote and the remote is pointed directly at the sensor on the collar. This doesn't work when a dog is running around barking (which is exactly when you need it to work). I thought about giving it to a friend, but I wouldn't even want to do that. I will likely just donate it to the Goodwill. Great price, but you are getting exactly what you're paying for so don't expect much beyond that.

I had high hopes for this product, as it performed very well out of the box. Easy set up, fairly simple function, but not completely intuitive. The reason I am giving it 2 stars is for two faults, both of which are battery related. The rechargeable battery that is in the transmitter will only last about 60 days before completely crapping out. It will hold a charge just fine, even longer than expected, but around the 2 month mark, mine would not hold a charge AT ALL. Second issue with the battery is that you cannot purchase a replacement to solve issue number one. The battery that is installed in this unit is soldered in and not replaceable, which in my opinion when dealing with ANYTHING rechargeable, this should be a no brainer... offer replacement batteries!As for function and effectiveness during the time this product worked, it worked extremely well.

Stupid things pop off the black band with little to no effort. Walking my dog, it pops off. Put it on another dog and within 1 hour it is off.It is not worth the money to buy it if it wont stay on.Update: There is a newer model that seems to address my issues. They changed the collar portion out and the receiver received some improvements. Buy the updated model. This older model is still defective in design.

I might have liked it...if it was compatible with my collar. The ports are too small. My Dog training collar is Aetertek, but this did not fit. Costs over have the price to send it back, so why bother. :-(

Only works when battery is first inserted. Will not awaken after it falls asleep. Even with brand new battery it will die.

Not water proof

Have broken several of these and at times it just doesn't work even when fully charged.Had a warranty claim on one took so long still haven't received it so I purchased another replacement.

Bought the petrainer shock collar about a year ago. The plastic piece that holds the collar in place snapped. So I ordered this extra receiver to replace it. Within a month, the plastic tab snapped again.

I have a lab that loves to swim in ponds, lakes and this item is not waterproof. Maybe rainproof.

It died and stopped working 5 weeks after receipt, making simply a slow wailing noise before going dead everytime it was unplugged (1 week after return window closed).

Collar works good for around the house. I bought my first one took my dog out hunting and it came off the collar, wasn't on that tight though. So I bought just the receiver this time took my dog out hunting again and it's gone again. Now I'm mad. DO NOT BUY IF YOU INTEND ON USING FOR A HUNTING DOG!!!

This item was working perfectly fine for the first two months but then the remote display stopped working for no apparent reason. The return date had already passed and since I had memorized all the functions, I just kept using it. Then both collars simply stopped receiving a signal a few weeks ago and even after following the reset instructions, they simply refuse to react. None of the items have ever gotten wet or anything, since my dog is terrified of the rain, so I just don't understand what happened. Before all went wrong, this was a huge help in training my stubborn animal to behave. Too bad.

We just bought the PetrainerIS-PET 998DR-2.You got it for a few days now. The System seems to be working as expected. My dog is responsive to the beeping, vibrations, and shock. Today I had put it on our dog, a chocolate lab, and was out in the yard for about 4 hours. Not to much high activity. I found that i had to put the receiver back on the collar 3x. This is very frustrating to me as we do use our dog for hunting purposes and was hoping to use this system during those times.The collar and receiver have a poor designs. You have to take the receiver off the collar to charge it, which can leads to future potential defects because the prongs that hold the receiver to the collar can become broken doing this many times.The handle has a very poor design especially for training purposes. You have to hit the ' mode' button to switch between each function- shock, vibrate, beep, and light- and hit the 'Y' button to emit the function. This could become very frustrating to a new and/or experienced trainer. And could make the collar easily be Misused on the dog. For example, if you just 'beep' the dog to get the attention but now would like to correct for behavior. You have to hit 'mode' scroll threw functions then 'Y' to correct the dog.Now that you've lost 30 seconds figuring out the handle, your dogs already moved on to something else. Opportunity lost for the trainer.If you have a already trained dog and are looking just to do a maintenance collar this works just fine. I would not recommend it for beginners or a young pup looking to be trained.I am glad I only spent $40 on this system, if it were any more than that I would be severely disappointed.

Dis is a terrible device it has 100 different shock levels 1 being soft and 100 being the worst. whatever the number was that I use, 1 to 100, the dog screamed in agony and in pain so I decided to test the dog caller on myself, and then I realized even if the caller was on 1 or 100 it delivered same terrible horrible shock equivalent to being tased by a Taser, I'm a law enforcement officer and I can tell you that the shock that this collar delivers on a 100 is about equivalent to being tased by a police taser. not only is it not suitable for a dog I would consider this animal abuse, no dog even the most unruly dog does not need to have this amount of electricity delivered to it. in the caller is malfunctioning because it delivers the same amount of shock on 1 or 100. Not RECOMMENDED

the petrainer does not work even the replacement don't work . They will not charge up plug them up and the the light will go off in about one hour, and the the replacement s are same I followed instructions to the letter and some my friend even tried it nothing happen. So I am sending every thing that I received from you .I will keep the whistle. I want you to try them and you will see what I'm talking about. If you can't send me ones that works then I want a refund. I am totally disgusted.

This collar also burnt my dogs skin. We have only used it a few times. Last night I took it off my bulldogs neck and realized that there was matted hair when the collar was. Once I started to look at his neck, I realized that there were burn spots wherever the probes were. We never even had to shock him. We used the vibration setting and the beeping setting. I was so upset when I found these marks. I have already requested a refund. it is a shame to put these puppies through this pain and not even know it is being done.

All three items were put on charge and these are suppose to charge for 6 hours + after two hours light went off, I didn't want to have to charge these everyday so I sent this item back for refund plus I didn't like the function in general. If you need to correct you have to press another button to get into that mode, too much switching back and forth for me!!!!!!!!

Worked well for when it actually worked, but stopped working around the one month range. Seems like it might be an issue with it charging.

Worked great for about two weeks, and then magically it stopped working all together. Not worth the money

This did work as expected. Didn't charged the remote, or collar. My dog hates the collar, and I hate having to take the collar on/off to charge it. It's a total hassel.

I had to return it within 30 days because it broke and then after about 3 months the remote control stopped working

Didn't work. A waste of money

Didn't work with remote. Same brand same everything and wouldn't pair.

I was disappointed in its ability to pair with transmiter

This product stopped working less than a month after the purchase.

It won't work with my pet trainer remote I tried both channels and it won't link I need a replacement or instructions on how to connect the two devices :(

This was the 3rd replacement. After 3 days, the shock portion stopped working. Returned & bought a different brand.

Did not work as a replacement for the other 330 that broke after a month. Hate Petrainer products.
